[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 536970, member: 8895"] This is kind of ironic. You point out Haloti Ngata and Vernon Davis as these great draft picks, neither of them did anything in the league until their third or fourth season. Ngata was seen as an underwhelming bust after his first season when he put up a whopping one sack and his second season wasn't much better. Michael Huff was considered a bust until his 4th when he emerged as a part timer, that's right he was benched during his third year. Vernon Davis was considered a bust until his 4th season, he did absolutely nothing until Mike Singletary's I want winners rant. Surely they were bad picks since they failed to make a positive impact for their first years in the league? As for the FA additions; Donte Whitner was signed back when we still had Nick Collins and Morgan Burnett was a promising rookie. Glenn Dorsey flopped in a 34 scheme. Anquan Boldin just wasn't at a position of need and has never been one to share the ball. DRC was a good pickup but cornerback wasn't seen as a position of need and it certainly didn't turn out that way this season and Wes Welker wasn't needed either. It's not go out and sign someone, it's whether you can find someone who will fit your team. That's tougher than you're acknowledging. Ted Thompson has shown that he will bring in FAs when they're affordable and in a place of need, we haven't seen that lately. Frank: I love you but you need to relax a bit. This season isn't worth getting worked up over and quite frankly I think we have the horses to take Seattle and SF down, we just need to get them healthy. [/QUOTE]
